Judy Rodgers (October 28, 1956 – December 2, 2013) was an American chef, restaurateur, and cookbook writer.[1] She became famous at Zuni Café, in San Francisco, California, of which she became chef in 1987.[2] Rodgers' food was influenced both by Chez Panisse, where she had worked, and by the food of France, where she had spent time as an exchange student living with the family of Jean Troisgros. The Zuni Café Cookbook, published in 2002, spread the influence of her painstaking, attentive approach to food further outside the United States.[3]
